The National Curriculum Guidelines (DCN) for Dentistry define the course objectives, the principles, fundamentals, conditions and procedures of the dentistry formation. The Teledentistry in consonance with the DCN can enlarge the insertion of educational institutions in training activities and permanent education of health services network professionals, strengthening the teaching-service integration and broadening opportunities to apply active methods in the teaching process learning. This study aims to discuss the importance and the impact of Teledentistry in dentistry professional training. This is a descriptive and exploratory study realized through a literature review of publications indexed in electronic databases BBO, ISI, LILACS, MEDLINE and SciELO and official documents. It was concluded that the Teledentistry is an important tool applied to teleassistance and teleducation, with great potential to support the implementation and consolidation of DCN in Dentistry undergraduate courses.
